Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 94.4% of votes; the other 6 candidates 5.6% between them.

    (4,26,856 + 3,89,168) ÷ 8,64,069 = 94.4% · 48,078 ÷ 8,64,069 = 5.6%

  2. Turnout of 69.5% was 11.9 pp above the state's median seat (57.6%).

    69.5 − 57.6 = +11.9

  3. The margin widened from 0.2 pp in 1999 to 4.4 pp.

    4.4 − 0.2 = +4.2 pp

  4. Nitish Kumar, the 1999 winner, finished second in 2004.

    1999 winner name = 2004 runner-up name
